Washington Co. Virginia (1850 Census Surname Project)


  Waverly W. Barbe's 1850 Census of Washington County, Virginia Annotated was published in 2000. Although a landmark text, it left the maiden names of many females unidentified. Eight years ago Jack Hockett, believing these women should not remain a mystery, began the research necessary to uncover their identity. With the assistance of Tom Colley and others (see files for credits), many of those maiden names have now been identified. 
Mr. Hockett has generously shared the results of those efforts. It is hoped that in turn you will lend a hand in solving the remaining "not founds".

There are 3 separate files; please contact me if you have difficulty opening any of them. 

     FOUND (4 MB opens in a new tab or window):
This file identifies female surnames for almost 700 households on the 1850 Washington Co. census who were not so identified in Mr. Barbe's book. Source information and additional research is included; it is a treasure trove of data. 

     MISC (1.25 MB opens in a new tab or window):
This file contains additional information for households where the female surname was already known; also information on possible single persons, and errata. 

     NOT FOUND (1 MB opens in a new tab or window):
There are still mysteries to be solved. Please scan the list of names below. Should you see any that look even remotely familiar open the "Not Found" file and read the clues currently available. Your help unearthing these last missing maiden names is greatly needed. Use the email link at the bottom of the page to contact me and I will forward your information to Mr. Hockett.
